This diagram illustrates the process of how research was carried out. There are a lot of steps before the research is done.
First, you should briefly get some ideas for the research through some previous research, personal experiences or curiosity. In this way, you can brainstorm a lot of ideas in your mind and form the statement of the research questions.
After that, you have to design the research methodology as it is one of the important processes. Next, you need to clearly identify who are the readers of the research.
Then, you have to identify the sources of information and the methods of obtaining it. Following this, you should find ways to collect the data that you need.
Finally, you have to analyse the information that you have found and draw the findings, conclusions, recommendations and implications.
By using the above steps, carrying out a research is a lot easier.
